Perform actions on nodes in a Dependency Views map

You can view various related items for the nodes in a Dependency Views
map.

About this task

If the node is a collapsed node or represents a cluster, the incidents, problems and
change requests are for all the collapsed nodes.

Procedure

Navigate to Dependency Views > View Map.

Click the icon next to a node or right-click a node on the
map, to access the following menu items:

Table 1. Node Menu

View Form

Displays the CMDB record of the selected CI in a new tab
of the browser.

View Map

Reloads the view using the selected CI as the new root
node, with the currently defined layout setting. This option
does not display on the root node.

View Related Tasks

Displays all tasks or outages associated with the
selected CI, including incidents, problems, change requests,
and follow-on tasks. This option is always available, even
if there are no tasks associated with the CI. This option
does not appear on collapsed nodes.

View Affected CIs

Shows a list of all tasks that have the CI listed as an
Affected CI. This option is only visible when you access the
view from the view icon in a task record's Configuration
item field.

View Related Outages

Displays all outages involving the selected CI. This
option only appears when there is an outage associated with
the CI. This option does not appear on collapsed
nodes.

Add Relationship

This option displays a dotted green line that you can
drag to another CI to create a relationship link. A popup
dialog allows you to define the relationship type.

Expand

Displays all CIs and components within a cluster node or
a collapsed node. This option only appears if the node is a
collapsed or cluster node.

The number of additional icons
to display is bound by the value of the
glide.bsm.max_nodes
property.

Collapse

Collapses all CIs and components within a cluster node or
a collapsed node back to a single node. This option only
appears if the node has been expanded using the Expand menu
item.

Run Layout From Here

This option re-runs the chosen layout using the current
node. Use this option to get a new or clearer view on the
same map.

Load More

Starting at the selected icon, loads the next level of
the map, past the setting of Max
Levels.

The number of additional icons to
display is bound by the value of the
glide.bsm.max_nodes
property.
